Rubric II: Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter
This rubric is applied to objects designed to explain subject matter. It is used to rate how thoroughly the subject matter is explained or otherwise revealed in the object. Teachers might use this object with a whole class, a small group, or an individual student. Students might use the object to self-tutor. For objects that are primarily intended for teacher use, the rubric is applied to the explanation of the subject matter not to the planning instructions for the teacher.
Rubric II Scoring Guide
Score | Definition / Criteria |
---|---|
3: | An object is rated superior for explanation of subject matter only if all of the following are true:
|
2: | An object is rated strong for explanation of subject matter if it explains the subject matter in a way that makes skills, procedures, concepts, and/or information understandable. It falls short of superior in that it does not make connections among important associated concepts within the subject matter. For example, a lesson on multi-digit addition may focus on the procedure and fail to connect it with place value. |
1: | An object is rated limited for explanation of subject matter if it explains the subject matter correctly but in a limited way. This cursory treatment of the content is not sufficiently developed for a first-time learner of the content. The explanations are not thorough and would likely serve as a review for most learners. |
0: | An object is rated very weak or no value for explanation of subject matter if its explanations are confusing or contain errors. There is little likelihood that this object will contribute to understanding. |
N/A | This rubric is not applicable (N/A) for an object that is not designed to explain subject matter, for example, a sheet of mathematical formulae or a map. It may be possible to apply the object in some way that aids a learner's understanding, but that is beyond any obvious or described purpose of the object. |
